Cup of Blessing

Wondrous Item, Artifact (Requires Attunement)

“The Cup of Blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ?”
-1 Corinthians 10:16

The cup of blessing is a simple clay drinking bowl that was crafted as part of a dinner set in ancient Judea. There were no innate magical properties to this set of drinking vessels until the night they were used during a celebration of the Seder (Passover) meal by the Messiah himself. As is customary at Seder meals, Jesus drank from four cups, representative of the four expressions of deliverance in Exodus 6:6. However, during this particular Seder, when Jesus raised the fourth cup, he instituted a new celebration that would be called by Christians the “Lord’s Supper.” This simple clay drinking bowl became imbued with divine magic on that day, becoming the Cup

Attunement. If an evil-aligned creature attunes to the Cup of Blessing, it magically transforms into the Cup of Iniquity.

Properties of the Cup. The Cup of Blessing has the following properties:

If you fill the cup with water, the water becomes

blessed with divine magic. A creature that drinks the water gains the effects of the greater restoration spell. The water can be shared by up to 6 creatures, and any water that isn’t consumed after one hour vanishes. Once used, this property cannot be used again until the next dawn.

If you fill the cup with wine while calling to mind

the events of Jesus’s suffering and death, the wine becomes blessed with divine magic. A creature that drinks the wine gains the effects of the heroes’ feast spell. The wine can be shared by up to 6 creatures, and any wine that isn’t consumed after one hour vanishes. Once used, this property cannot be used again until the next dawn.

As an action, you can present the cup to a creature

within 120 feet. If the target can see the cup, it must succeed on a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw or drop to one knee out of respect for the relic. The affected creature is considered prone and its movement speed becomes 0 until the end of its next turn.

Destroying the Cup. The cup is a tiny object with an AC of 15 and 1 hit point. It is immune to damage from any source other than the sword of the spirit (AGttB).
